The webpage is created for 2009 Spring "Intermediate Writing" class.
Important announcements will be posted on the website.
Unless I need to contact you individually, I am not gurantee to make announcements by sending emails.
Check every week before class to make sure if any announcement is made.
Do not leave messages on the discussion board if you want to ask for leave.
Send me emails (yicc@nccu.edu.tw ) beforehand to report your excuses.
PPT will be posted weekly. Feel free to download if you want to take notes.
1.Assignments should be submitted ON TIME. No delay submission is acceptable.
2.Assignments should be submitted in TWO FORMS:
---1) Printed forms: Assignments should be printed out by A4 papers, and stapled if they have more than one page. They should be turned in at the beginning of class.
---2) Electronic forms: Electronic files should be Microsoft Word documents. They should be emailed to the instructor's account (yicc@nccu.edu.tw ) one day before class.
3.Name the electronic files by assignment #, your student ID #, and your Chinese name. For example:“Essay1_98765432_王大同.doc” Incorrect file names may cause your assignments failed to be received.
4.Be careful of plagiarism. Since the capability of giving proper citation is one of the most important criteria of this class, any“copy and paste”works will cause your failure in this class. (The definition of plagiarism and the ways to avoid it will be mentioned during the semester.)
Principles of Writing Compositions
Quoted from C. Cheng (2008). English Composition, p.95-96
1.Type your paper on a computer.
2.Leave a margin on all sides of the page. You should leave at least one inch (2.5 cm) of blank space on the top, bottom, left side and right side of each page that you write.
3.Double space your paper.
4.Write your full name in the upper right hand corner of the first page.
5.Write the date the composition is due under your name.
6.Center a title at the beginning of your first page.
7.Indent at the beginning of each paragraph that you write.
8.Punctuation marks (including,.?;–: ) should appear after a word. You should never put one of these marks as the first character in a line. If you have to choose between putting one of these marks at the end of a line or the beginning of the next line, always put it at the end of the previous line.
9.Leave one blank space after a punctuation mark.
10.Only hyphenate words at the boundaries between syllables. Do not hyphenate if splitting the word results in a syllable with only one single letter.
11.Do not spell words incorrectly. Use your computer's spellchecker function.
